Barking & Dagenham Parks Tennis

Jade hasn’t been with us long, but she’s certainly made her mark!

Our Barking & Dagenham Player of the Month has moved from beginner to intermediate in no time, bringing focus, enthusiasm and a real appetite to learn to every session.

It’s been brilliant watching her confidence catch up with her talent. Well played, Jade! Keep going!

Sunday’s best!

A big thank you to the 30 or so players who joined us for Open Day at Central Park, Dagenham.

You made our Sunday worth looking forward to! See you around more often, okay?

Some came to try tennis. Others came back for more.

Thanks for filling Barking Park with great energy last Saturday. We loved having you on court!

She’s one of our trainees, working alongside Mark at Barking Park — and her moment says a lot about what this initiative is here to do: open doors and help more people from under-represented backgrounds find their place in tennis.

With £500,000 invested over the next three years, Rally Together London will help bring 5,500 more young people into the game and train 250 people to join the tennis workforce.

So yes, it’s a coin toss. But it also feels like something bigger. A really good step for tennis.

A lovely day on court with a brilliant group of women! This month is a nice reminder to celebrate the women who bring strength, kindness, good energy (and usually the best chat and laughters) to our tennis community. 💙💚

Our greatest champions on and off the court, serving us love, strength, and endless support every day. Happy Mother’s Day to our amazing tennis moms! 🎾💜

More rallies, fewer limits. Happy International Women’s Month to the game-changers on and off the court.

At NTA, we stand with you and will keep championing more opportunities for women in tennis. 💜💪🏻

A friendly reminder… you don’t have to play alone 👀

Refer a friend to our coaching programme and they get £20 off their first month – and you get £20 off your next month when they stay on after the trial.

More tennis with a mate + less to pay next month = absolute win–win.

Meet Dolly and Adrian, a truly special pair on (and off) the court. They first met in Madras, South India, and after a long courtship tied the knot on 6th May 1978. This year, they’re celebrating an incredible 48 years of marriage – a love story that’s still going strong.

These days, you’ll find them sharing rallies and smiles at St Chads Park in Barking & Dagenham, where they absolutely love their tennis lessons. It’s a real pleasure to have them on court with us – living proof that the joy of tennis (and of being together) only grows with time.

And since it’s Valentine’s Day, here’s to a partnership built on patience, teamwork, and plenty of shared wins — on court and in life. May your day be filled with warmth, laughter, and love that keeps rallying back.

Happy Valentine’s Day from NTA ❤️🎾

A new year means a fresh start, but we’re carrying the best bits with us: the people, the passion, and the tennis community we’re proud to be part of.

Happy new year from Barking & Dagenham Parks Tennis!
